General Debate statements

42 statements to the General Debate since 1980, 114,571 words in all. The longest was 1981, at 4,737 words, delivered by Mr. JOSIE.

Of the 32 statements since 1994 whose speaker’s post the record gives: Prime Minister ×11, Minister for Foreign Affairs ×10, Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Economic Growth, Job Creation, External Affairs and the Public Service ×4, UN Representative ×3. Earlier years are excluded because UN records do not consistently identify a speaker’s post before 1994, and counting those years as though they did would make any state look as though it sent nobody senior.
